✅

It is better to handle it with a field (not with 2 different models) for example you can have something like this:

class User(models.Model) :
    # NEW
    ROLES = (('student', 'Student'), ('teacher', 'Teacher'))
    role = models.CharField(
        max_length=20,
        choices=ROLES,
        default='student'
    )


    national_id = models.CharField(
        max_length=50,
        unique=True,
    )

    name = models.CharField(max_length=50)
    last_name = models.CharField(max_length=50)
    phone_number = models.CharField(max_length=50)

Also, you can use the Django permission model more detail

Django has Roles and Groups to categorise users. What is allowed and forbidden is controlled by Permissions. Every User, Role and Group can have different model-specific and view-specific Permissions. The system is quite complex and allows for many different setups. I’d suggest you chek an overview such as this one.
